Raider Time
 

Do the Raiders fear us because we can be a formidable adversary (when not commiting NFL suicide), or do they think we are ripe for the picking?

Re: Raider Time
 

The Raiders have plenty of their own problems starting with their 3-6 record.

If anybody is ripe for the picking it would be the Raiders with that 24th ranked D. Our offense needs to be sharp and run it up on these guys so the D can't blow it.

Re: Raider Time
 

I think the Raiders game should be a win, but when Randy Moss watches Sunday's game film, I'm sure he's licking his chops. Granted it will be tougher with Sean Taylor back there, but he has to believe that if he lines up one-on-one with Rogers or Harris he's going for 6.

What is the REAL status of Cornelius Griffin , and ST?

Re: Raider Time
 

This should be a win, but I have a feeling we'll see lots of 3+ WR sets with Moss, Porter and the Speedy Curry. We better find a way to stop them!

Re: Raider Time
 

If the DBs don't show up it's going to be a long game for us. Walt Harris is pathetic, why is he on the roster?

Re: Raider Time
 

Don't have to worry about Ronald Curry...out again for the season.

The Raiders may be 3-6, but they are 2-2 in their last 4, losing close games to interdivision rivals (I realize 31-17 isn't close, but it was close til LJ broke for that TD late). While their defense may be 24th overall, they will always try to outgun their opponents with their offense. Lamont Jordan is proving himself to be a very good back, and Randy Moss is itching to have a breakout game.

The Skins need to work on less giveaways, more takeaways, and not letting receivers get behind them in zone coverage. If they can do this, Brunell should be able to throw all day, open it up for Portis, and give the Skins a big win.

Re: Raider Time
 

isnt charles woodson out too? hes their best defensive player. this is a must win, if we lose i think we are in really bad shape at 5-5

Re: Raider Time
 

I have to think the Raiders and every other team are going to go deep on us. If we continue to not get pressure on the blitz and leave our corners on the island. One of them are going to get beat over the top. We need to play smart solid ball. We are not getting pressure with the blitz so just rush the 4 keep being solid on stopping the run leave Spring 1 on 1 and double the others with a backer or a safety and a corner. Sounds simple but I am sure it has got to be more complicated. We should play strong at home and win this game.

i believe he is going to be OUT AGAIN. Taylor should be playing, according to Gibbs.

Re: Raider Time
 

I dont think we can look past the Raiders. They have a good bit of motivation with Norv vs "the DANNY". Norv is a great play caller and will have the first two drives scripted. They have a few weapons with Moss, Porter, and Jordan. Jordan has really started to play pretty good and the D is not as bad as it was in the beginning of the year. If we come out to soft, we are going to be in for another dogfight. We need to control the clock, like always, and somehow put pressure on Collins. Over the years he has been shakey when he gets hit early and often. If he has time, like Simms did, he will pick us apart even more. Look for a somewhat high scoring game, maybe 35 to 21, in favor of our boys

DA SKINS!!!

Re: Raider Time
 

i see us coming in with a lot of emotion after that loss, trying to redeem themselves. we win this game im almost certain, we have to. the team knows that. this is only the SECOND team this year with a LOSING record we have faced all year. damn tough scheduel

Sickening stuff.

Re: Raider Time
 

I want Sunday to be the day we begin dominating teams and leaving no doubt that we belong in the playoff hunt. Have that carry over to stuffing LT and beating the Chargers.

Re: Raider Time
 

really. you know the raiders are gonna go deep against us, i have no doubt that shawn springs can shut down randy moss, but what really worries me is walt harris on jerry porter. I saw what porter did to champ bailey in that sunday night football game last year, and i have no doubt that can and probably will happen to harris. We just can't give up a big plays on defense. This is the oppurtunity for us to step up.

Re: Raider Time
 

Big C:

Charles Woodsen USED TO BE an excellent defensive player. For the last two seasons he has been a very highly paid AVERAGE defensive player. The Raiders will be weaker without him, but this is not the same as the Ravens losing Ed Reed. Oh, by the way, Woodsen is on a one-year franchise-player contract this year and will be "available" in the off season. The Skins do NOT need him nor should they want to try to get him. He costs waaay too much given his on-field production.

This game is a must-win for both teams. The Raiders must win if they hope to finish the season as anything more than a doormat. Once the season is a "certified loss", you can look for "fatties" like Ted Washington and Warren Sapp to chow down and get even fatter than they are now and lose any pretense they have to mobility. That could happen by December 1 if the Radiers don't win on Sunday.

The Skins need to win this weekend too because the Giants and the Cowboys look as if they will win this weekend.The Skins do not want to be 2 games down in the division with only 6 left to play.

Here's the key for the weekend. The defense has to contain LaMont Jordan - not only running the ball but catching the ball. He has more catches than Randy Moss this year! If they can do that, then they take away the "short game" and then they can tee-off and go after a highly immobile QB.

Prediction: Skins win a very close game. Margin of victory is a field goal or less.

Re: Raider Time
 

i hereby take responsibility of the giants loss. I had no other WRs because of byes so i started plexico on my fantasy team. I will never do it again. I am going kickerless and starting my backup running back over Jordan

Re: Raider Time
 

patten is single coveraged all the time and he fails to get open, i hope this is just some kind of slump. Moss is getting doubled and soon cooley will too so patten really needs to do his job. I am looking for Jacobs to have a good showing because we all know he can do it. 3-4 catchs 40-50 yards and i am a very happy man with jacobs
